A well placed slash with a good sword can usually stop most opponents in their tracks. Occasionally, and some would argue the fact that occasionally is the right word, one may confront a foe that takes a little more effort to dispatch. Those who are fully trained in their swords, can sometimes combine their skill and wits and instead of a single slash, execute a combination move, where the first slash is immediately followed by a second maneuver, usually aimed at the target's head.
